Expanding the Design Space Explored by S3D
Abstract
Modern design processes such as set-based design and TIES (Technology Identification, Evaluation and Selection) depend on the ability to explore a large design space rather than attempting to optimize a single design. In this paper, we investigate methods for expanding the design space that can be explored using the S3D (Smart Ship System Design) software environment. We then detail the most recent advancements in the templating process, with the goal of automated system assembly and evaluation using pre-designed system segments called templates.
